Munchausen Worries

My son had a temperature
of 102 for thirty-six hours.
He did not ask to play
on the PS3,
or to use the computer.
He was polite, and grateful
for everything I did for him.
Now he’s himself again,
I fight the unmotherly thoughts that
I look forward to his next illness.

William got that terrible flu that has been going round. I've never known him so ill, but it did have its upside!
